Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to properly convert a Microsoft Word
document (either Mac or Windows, both older pre-docx versions) to a Windows
Microsoft Works document?

Unfortunately these are not simplt text only documents that need to be
converted. The Word document also includes text boxes, graphics and drawing
objects, all in botht the document itself and the header.

The Save As conversion I've tried so far are hopeless and lose 99% of the
document. :-(

Works is a fairly rudimentary word processor and is not 100% compatible with
Word document format, so the answer to your question is undoubtedly no!
